4 unique, luxury and hand-picked holiday homes

A big improvement on last year after the complaints we made.

Excellent cottage

Beautiful cottage, immaculately clean and well equipped.

A beautiful cottage in the most spectacular grounds. There were only two of us, but two big dogs and we have learnt to book more rooms which gives a bigger living space. The cottage was finished to a very high standard and lacked for nothing. Very clean on arrival and we had a fabulous stay. thank you

Excellent

Everything we expected.

Beautifully prepared and great welcome hamper

Few comments - the lights kept tripping, including once at 1.30am when we were reluctant to call the housekeeper. Secondly, guests generally felt that the bathrooms needed upgrading - hardly any counterspace to put even a toothbrush in some cases. Also 2 bedooms had 4ft beds which were really too small for a couple - these rooms could easily have accommodated a 5ft bed (this point would definitely put us off booking again for an all adult party). Finally it would be nice to have proper curtains (or blinds) in some of the bedrooms that blocked the light when drawn

We booked Melmerby Hall for a special family celebration and it couldn't have been more perfect. Elegant, spacious, comfortable and clean. The dining room, drawing room and library were the perfect settings for a murder mystery and the whole house just lends itself for hide and seek! We would all love to go back. Special thanks to the housekeeper for being so accommodating and helpful.
